Hmm...I'm not sure I understand your explanation. So, if I miss
something, please let me know. We calls drain_all_pages() when
isolating pageblock and alloc_contig_range() also has one
drain_all_pages() calls to drain pcp pages. And, after pageblock isolation,
freed pages belonging to MIGRATE_ISOLATE pageblock will go to the
buddy directly so there would be no problem you mentioned. Isn't it?

Thanks.
